Want to watch a replay of the year’s most controversial bout? You’ve got your chance as part of tonight’s WSOF marathon on NBCSN.
NBCSN kicks off the eight-hour WSOF marathon tonight at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT).
In the key 9 p.m. ET slot is the replay of “WSOF 22: Palhares vs. Shields,” which took place this past Saturday at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Although Rousimar Palhares (18-6) defended his welterweight title earned a submission victory in the headliner, opponent Jake Shields (31-8-1) complained of persistent eye-gouges from the champ – and then threw a post-fight punch when Palhares appeared to hold the submission too long (watch the Palhares vs. Shields video highlights).
It’s the latest in a long line of questionable tactics from the Brazilian, and WSOF matchmaker Ali Abdelazi said Palhares could be stripped of his title in the wake of the controversial bout.
In any manner, if you haven’t see the full event, which also included a wild cageside brawl involving UFC fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and brothers Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz, you get your chance tonight.
